This year we spent Christmas with my family. It was so nice. Christmas Eve we all sat by the fireplace and listened to my Daddy read. I love it when my Dad reads to us. He read his favorite Christmas book... "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". He even did different voices for all the characters! We also read the Christmas story and a poem about the symbols and of Christmas.
In the morning my parents woke us up (I know, it pretty pathetic when your parents have to wake up the kids on Christmas morning - but that is the way it has always been in my family. We must all really like our sleep) and went up stairs to open our presents. I love Christmas morning when everyone is still groggy and trying to wake up! Their expressions are much more genuine. The tree was beautiful and the presents were all neatly wrapped.
There were not a lot of presents, but everyone was so grateful for what they had received. Brent & I received watches, cd's, movies, clothes, a beautiful picture that Cam drew, and a pair of ducks that my Dad had done for us. They are so beautiful! After the presents were opened we ate our traditional breakfast of blueberry waffles! So yummy!
The rest of the weekend we just played games and relaxed. We did however go sledding. It was so much fun. We got my dad's 2 four wheelers and hooked up sleds behind them. My friend Tim and his friend and Rachel came along too. We drove out to the farm lanes and had a blast. The guys had so much fun trying to dump each other into the snow. Brent got some awesome battle wounds. Paige and I had a great time making Tim fly off the sled we were pulling. We even managed to rip his nice pants. It was awesome!
Below are pictures of our Christmas morning and of Cameron and Paige breaking in their new game. It was truly a wonderful Christmas.
